CDO to Present on SB24-174 Strategic Growth Report at Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute CDO staff will be presenting at a webinar hosted by Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute on June 24, 2025, at 12 p. m. to seek stakeholder input for the Strategic Growth Report.
The Report, due to the state legislature by October 31, 2025, as directed by SB24-174 , is intended to prompt a statewide conversation on the intersections between housing, transportation, infrastructure, water; and why the way we grow is important to an affordable and sustainable Colorado. The law states that the report must include two major elements: A land use scenario analysis; and Land use policy recommendations.
The webinar intends to spark high-level discussion around what stakeholders see as pressing policy issues, with a particular focus on infrastructure (water, electric, utilities, maintenance costs and growth patterns, etc,) that is critical to the state's goals yet not always in the headlines.

Resource Spotlight: 2025 Land Use Survey - Deadline EXTENDED to July 11, 2025 The Department of Local Affairs, in partnership with the Colorado Municipal League, Colorado Counties, Inc., and the American Planning Association Colorado Chapter, launched the Colorado Land Use Survey to better understand the planning practices of Colorado local governments.
DOLA issues this survey approximately every five years to assess the planning needs and trends across our state. Aggregated results from this survey will be used to inform DLG on local government funding and assistance needs, inform policy makers, and aid in planning research. It will NOT be used to assess compliance with recent land use legislation.
Your voice, experience, and expertise are essential to ensuring the results are valid, representative, and impactful. To ensure broad representation in our findings, we've extended the survey deadline to July 11, 2025 . If you haven’t participated yet, now’s the perfect time to represent your municipality or county!
The survey should be filled out by a local planner or someone with knowledge of land use issues in the municipality or county. The survey takes 20-30 minutes to complete. Those who complete the survey will be entered to win a free annual American Planning Association (APA) subscription, thanks to the generosity of APA Colorado!
Please reach out to Emma Scheetz (Land Use Survey Administrator) with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.

Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
